-1 on perms_with_repetitions. That's headed in the direction of bloat -- taking every formula in a textbook and putting it in the module. Also, it is somewhat use case challenged. I've *never* needed this in my 30 years of programming. I like Mark's idea for names that indicate that they return a number or count instead an iterator. Perhaps something like: ncombinations() npermutations() ncombinations_with_replacement() _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5139> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
